It is the place most persons seek when storm driven, and more |>er sons have been killed by lightning while there than in any other place. Most people know this, but still they rush upon their destruction with a prompt ness that is simply unaccountable. Already this season many deaths liaye been reporU*d of persons who have sought such shelter, and the list will no doubt La* much longer buiore the sum mer is over.— Ex. —lt wasn't Mary's lu'tle lamb that came to Miss McElroy's school room last Monday, but it created lots of ex citement among her scholars all the same.

There was a sudden rise in the position of the female scholars some taking refuge from the imaginary enemy on top of their desks. Two of the bravci boys were deputized to eject the intruder and after some time the teacher succeeded in restoring the us ual quietness of her school room.

They were driving home in a two-horse spring wagon and had just passed over the railroad cross ing on the other side of Lcmotit, when the train came thundering along. Mr. Blair's horses took fright and made a sudden jump to the side of the road, running the wagon against the fence and hurling the driver out on his head. He struck a stone pile and re ceived a large gash in his head and was severely bruised otherwise. The horse succeeded in breaking away from the wagon and Mrs. Blair and the two chil dren who had all this time kept their seats esca|>etl without a hurt. The train stop|>ed and returned to the scene of the accident. Mr. Blair was picked up unconscious and put on the train to be taken home to ies when examined closely by a physi cian were found uot to be dangerous, but painful, and he can be very thank ful that he and his family had such a miraculous escape. —The committee on the Patrons' Picnic and Exhibition of Centre county, to be hold on top of Nittanv Mountain, near Centre Hall, Septeiulier 14 and 15, is push ing its work vigorously,and now promises to 1m- a grand affair surpassing anything of the kind ever held in the county.

It is a marvel how the Patrons of our county are able to give such an inter esting exhibition free of charge, as they ate usually accompanied with heavy expense. The majority of our home manufacturers and dealers in agricultural implements have engaged space for the exhibition of their wares and implements, and no doubt there will l>e many more applications Ik>- fore the Exhibition O|H-IIH.

As the delegate election is drawing near eaudidates are Iss-oniing tliiek as Hie#. Sev en eandidates for different olliees met here at one time one ilay last week. t'obiirn hail the largest crowd of people on Saturday last that were ever here at one time. People came for miles to w ituess the full race W'liieh had been advertised, and al so took ill the festival. The crowd was es timated at from 400 to 300 )M.THOIIH The tul race# eaw oil'as per announcement and wen* the caime of a great amount of merri ment, kii'ping the crowd in the best of laughing and cheering humor. In the first race Thus. Kvert, of Cohurn, tisik the first prize of $2.50, John Kerwtetter, of Milliieiiii, tistk 2nd prize of (I.SO and the 3rd prize of $1 was equally divided bet weenWm. (Scttig, of bisiug Springs, and Ed. Cassler, of Co litiru. In the second race for hoys there were tint two entries. The first prize of £2.00 was captured by Will Cantner, of Co hum, and the 2nd prize of f 1 was awarded to tieo. VanValin, of Cohurn. The toys did very well. The judges, I>r. Frank, Sipiiri' Eisenhuth and Jacob Genteel ileserve credit for tin;, fairness shown in awarding the prizim. The crowuing feat which many did not see owing to their ts-ing unaware of the fact until a moment la-fore it was done, was a dive made from the topmost ]s>int of tin* bridge into the crrek, a distance of a lsiut 23 feet. The dive was successfully made by Mr. Searle. The Milllieim hand was on hand and made things lively with tine music. After the race* all bauds turned out to the festival where the building and grounds w ere soon one mass of people, and the wait ers were kept busy and could not accommo date the vast crowd for lack of space. The only drawl tack to the occasion was that those In charge of the festival had not pre pared for so Urge a crowd and consequently ran out of ice cream an.l other things in the early jart of the evening, while if enough had lie on prepared we are sure the receipts would have run over SI(W. The festival netted the ladies some stiO. We have learned from our merchants that Mat unlay evening's sport was a big lienertt to them. Mr. Swengle, of Durham Bros. A Co., says it helped their sales at least fit. IS. F. Vonada says it helped him SSO. .1. W. Glasgow says sl2 and Mr. Mey er claims it heljiod his sales $35, and taking the festival and other money left here it cau be seen that nearly S3OO was brought to our little village on Saturday evening in excess of what would have been, had there lteeii nothing going on. And all this on an outlay of sl7, and still we have a few croak ers who will sit down on any attempt that is made by a few to get up something of this kind. We think the promoters of Sat urday evening's entertainment are entitled to considerable credit and we know they are thankful to those who responded so cheerfully when called upon for lhiaucial aid. In eight days recently merchant Vonada took ill 1070 quarts or 52 bushels of huckle berries. The heavy rains Monday raised the creek considerable. Henry Whitmer hail men running his logs in the race to save them from going down the creek. Andy Campbell's foot bridge filiated off Monday night. J. F. Torbert is here on business. VALE.

GALK ON DISEASES OF TIIE KIDNEYS— Dr. Gale observes ID his treatise on disease that the great use of wloe in France is supoosed to hav9 a bated the prevalence of the gravel. In some parts of this country where Speer's Fort Grape Wine is principally used, not only the gout, but the gravel is scarcely known. Dr.La Pota relates as an extraordinary instance of the ef fects of Speer's Port Wine on gout, the cure of Dr. Daveran, who was attack ed with it at the age of twenty-Qye.and had it severely until he was upwards of fifty, with chalk stones in the joints of his hands and feet, but for four years preceeding the time when bis case had been given to Dr. La Pota to lav beloie the public had by advice used Speer's Port Grape Wine, and had no return of the gout afterwards.— London Post.
